crab tissues → contain → higher proportions of gram-positive cocci
comparison: surrounding waters and sediments
“Compared with surrounding waters and sediments, the crab tissues contained much higher proportions of gram-positive cocci.”
formal training → increased → respondents' appreciation of the importance of food safety practices
“Results suggest that formal training increases respondents' appreciation of the importance of these food safety practices.”
MDR S. Newport → had log reduction times → 7 d in the lagoon and 14 to 20 d in the soil
“Log reduction times (days required for 90% decrease in concentration) based on the log-linear decline phase were 7 d in the lagoon and 14 to 20 d in the soil.”
MDR S. Newport → was eliminated → within 18 h in static compost pile at 64 °C
“In the static compost pile at 64 °C, S. Newport was eliminated within 18 h.”
MDR S. Newport → persisted → for over 276 d in field soil
“In the dairy effluent lagoon, the pathogen survived for >137 d, whereas in the field soil, the organisms persisted for over 276 d.”
Salmonella enterica serovar Newport → isolated from → oysters
context: a major human pathogenmajority: 78/101 isolates
“The vast majority (78/101) of Salmonella isolates from oysters were Salmonella enterica serovar Newport, a major human pathogen, confirming the human health hazard of raw oyster consumption.”
MDR S. Newport → survived → for >137 d in dairy effluent lagoon
“In the dairy effluent lagoon, the pathogen survived for >137 d, whereas in the field soil, the organisms persisted for over 276 d.”
MDR S. Newport → followed a pattern of → increase or plateau for a few days, log-linear decline for 6 to 13 wk, and a long tailing phase at low and variable concentration for 4 to 9 mo
environment: in both the lagoon and field soil
“The survival of MDR S. Newport in both the lagoon and field soil followed a pattern of (1) an increase or plateau for a few days, (2) log-linear decline for 6 to 13 wk, and (3) a long tailing phase at low and variable concentration for 4 to 9 mo.”
Cronobacter species → represent → an emerging opportunistic foodborne pathogen associated with meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis in infants
“Cronobacter species represent an emerging opportunistic foodborne pathogen associated with meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis in infants”
meat of high pH value → showed → psychrotrophic Enterobacteriaceae as a major proportion of the microflora after 8 weeks of storage
“Psychrotrophic Enterobacteriaceae represented a major proportion of the microflora only after the full 8 weeks of storage”
